I sold my position in Boeing a couple of weeks ago.  Took profits and re-invested in ITA (Aerospace and Defense ETF).  My reasoning is that ITA has a large holding of Boeing stock (as well as other players) yet pays a decent dividend every quarter.  Normally I would just hold what I had, but I'm not real keen on buying/holding individual stocks.

I took profits from my tech ETF (IXN) though I did not sell all shares, just a FIFO deal.  I also took profits from my shares in Micro$oft and held on to 100 shares since I think that it will still move higher.  I used a portion of the profits that I made over the last year on these to purchase some energy and oil stuff.

I also sold off a few other positions (not completely) and re-invested a portion back (small caps, financials).

What I haven't re-invested yet is sitting in cash.  I'm roughly 60% cash and 40% invested.  My main targets are the energy and financial sectors with a small portion in tech.  I do also have a few REiT's that I might re-balance soon.  Real estate has been on fire, yet the bubble is coming (my thinking).

I'm playing it "slow and steady" rather than waiting for the "next day's pop" on an individual stock.
